On very rare occasions you get to watch a movie so enticing that you never want it to end. Such is the case of Cairo Time, a stunningly beautiful film that leaves you wanting for yet another chance to reach a conclusion that is simply not there.
Everyone who sees Cairo Time feels as much for Juliette in her desire to spend more time in the city of the thousand minarets and give the main characters an opportunity to turn their infatuation into full-fledged love. The problem is that this is a love affair, an unexpected circumstance due to the politics of the Middle East region.
Except for the chaotic traffic, time seems to take a leisurely stroll as we witness Juliette alone or accompanied by Tareq touring alluring Cairo in a way that Syrian-Canadian writer/director Ruba Nadda has very cleverly woven into the story line.
Cairo Time has the perfect blend of elements for a captivating romantic film; incredible cinematography, breathtaking vistas, superb acting, a script that has just the right words and an evocative soundtrack that captures the mounting sexual tension within the grandeur of eternally exotic Cairo.
